The annual free lunchtime concert series kicks off Wednesday, July 9, at the Snohomish County campus amphitheater, 3000 Rockefeller Ave., Everett.

Local vendors will also set up on the county campus, offering visitors the chance to purchase locally grown flowers and homemade goods, and sample foods from local merchants.

The artists represent a wide range of the best and newest bands in Puget Sound this summer.

Fauna Shade, contestant at EMP’s Sound Off! Battle of the Bands, will shred guitar during the summer concert series. Sam Anderson of Hey Marseilles will present his new solo project Arkomo – making its Everett debut.

Ian McFeron will bring his Bob Dylan-esque country-infused rock to the county plaza, as well.
